Helpful tips #1 - Sunday is Funday for Deals
Sunday is the day when the newspaper has the newest ads and the most coupons. I know newspapers are so old school. However, it saves mega bucks when it comes to clipping coupons. Look through the paper with a fine tooth comb, clip what you need and save the coupons you might need soon.
Helpful tip #2 - Smart Phone Apps
- Ebates, Checkout 51, Ibotta - These are 3 different apps that all get you money back on items purchased. There is no feeling like getting a check in the mail for products you've already purchased. These are super easy to use apps that give you simple instructions on how to start saving money.
- Cartwheel - This is a Target Store app that gives you a percentage off on hundreds of items in the store. You just need to add the items you will be purchasing on your next Target trip to your Cartwheel, connect to the Target store wifi and have the store associate scan the barcode at the time of purchase for instant discounts on items you are purchasing.
- RetailMeNot - By far one of my most favorite apps, ever. RetailMeNot is activated when you are near a store with a deal. You'll receive a notification on your phone letting you know what stores near you are having sales.
Hope this helps you on your savings journey.
Happy Savings,
Melissa
